The top view axis has changed in version 5.6. What was the reasoning behind this change?

The X and Y axes in the top view appear to have been rotated by 90 degrees. Could you explain the reasoning behind this modification?

I’m curious as well, especially because it’s not harmonized with, say, the world partition minimap.

i’m also very curios - also can you please make it so we can rotate the Top View camera or choose its axis orientation in the settings?

Yeah, X for vertical axis and Y horizontal… Really counterintuitive.

I would like to know why as well. This essentially breaks any compass-related UI in a game. I hope this is fixed in 5.6.1…otherwise, I will be downgrading.

Yes I find this really strange too, by the way, it would be really nice to have the chance to choose the rotation of the orthographic views, like other DCC’s can.
